- Influence of spironolactone on matrix metalloproteinase-2 in acute decompensated heart failurePublication . Ferreira, J.; Santos, M.; Oliveira, J.; Marques, I.; Bettencourt, P.; Cyrne-Carvalho, H.Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of enzymes important for the resorption of extracellular matrices, control of vascular remodeling and repair. Increased activity of MMP2 has been demonstrated in heart failure, and in acutely decompensated heart failure (ADHF) a decrease in circulating MMPs has been demonstrated along with successful treatment.
